In 1990, our first event was held in Provincetown, Mass., and it included a handful of gay pilots. Communication was by telephone, and members were identified by having an airplane on their shirt. During that time, members risked losing their job or being discharged from the military if they were outed as gay.
This eventually evolved into a national organization, and we're excited to continue to celebrate that legacy at the 2018 Cape Cod Classic, which will be held from Sept. 13-16, 2018 in Provincetown, Mass.
